According to NIST, what is cloud computing defined as?

  1. A shared set of resources delivered over the Internet
  2. A model for more-efficient use of network-based resources
  3. A model for on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable resources
  4. Services that are delivered over the Internet to customers

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

NIST defines cloud computing as on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable resources, aligning with the essential characteristics of cloud services.

Which of the following best explains how Multifactor Authentication (MFA) helps prevent identity-

based attacks?

  1. MFA relies on physical tokens and biometrics to secure accounts.
  2. MFA requires multiple forms of validation that would have to compromise.
  3. MFA requires and uses more complex passwords to secure accounts.
  4. MFA eliminates the need for passwords through single sign-on.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

MFA enhances security by requiring multiple independent forms of authentication, making it harder for attackers to gain unauthorized access.

Which of the following is a common security issue associated with serverless computing environments?

  1. High operational costs
  2. Misconfigurations
  3. Limited scalability
  4. Complex deployment pipelines

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Serverless environments are vulnerable to misconfigurations, which can expose sensitive data and resources, making security configurations critical.

What is a key consideration when handling cloud security incidents?

  1. Monitoring network traffic
  2. Focusing on technical fixes
  3. Cloud service provider service level agreements
  4. Hiring additional staff

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

SLAs play a key role in cloud incident management as they define response expectations and support arrangements between CSPs and CSCs.


Reference:

[CCSK Study Guide, Domain 11 - Incident Response]



Which of the following best describes how cloud computing manages shared resources?

  1. Through virtualization, with administrators allocating resources based on SLAs
  2. Through abstraction and automation to distribute resources to customers
  3. By allocating physical systems to a single customer at a time
  4. Through manual configuration of resources for each user need

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Cloud computing uses abstraction and automation to pool and distribute resources efficiently among multiple tenants. This allows dynamic allocation based on demand.
